I signed up for the public beta program just after they announced it. Then, after hearing all the warnings about not installing it on you main machine and making sure you have really good backups, etc., etc., I decided I would probably pass.
The public beta was released last week and I decided to go for it. This is my only modern Mac (mid-2012 MacBook Pro), this is my primary machine, I have a few things backed up, but I don't have a spare drive, or a 'second machine.'
My fallback position is my bootable USB drive with the original Mavericks installer on it.
I'm NOT worried about data loss from Apple. Windows will do that (and has done that to me) at the drop of a hat, but not Apple. If I have to reinstall Mavericks or even reformat my drive, oh well, but I don't expect Apple to ever require that.
This new OS is a dream! I've already submitted over half-a-dozen 'bug reports,' but there are no show-stoppers. With this AND the public beta of Xcode 6 I have everything I could ever want. I'll sign up for a paid developer account Later!
